Friends running for Office

December 19, 2020 by leslieclark Leave a Comment

Niger elections are in full swing as we speak.  We have among the candidates for regional and national offices–six friends running.  Every one of them we have known and worked with for at least ten years.  We are very proud that our work together has led to visibility that encouraged them to run.  They are […]

Help for Iferouane Students, Artisans, Seamstresses and Matrones

November 30, 2020 by leslieclark Leave a Comment

Last year, when we visited the school in Iferouane, Niger where we had helped them repair the roof which had blown off, we found the kids doing their studies kneeling on the ground–they needed desks.

Malaria

Dr. Bob Skankey, although he is no longer traveling to Niger, is still a very active board member of the Nomad Foundation and as he has done all his life–is determined to improve people’s health.  With his support, we are starting a program to address one of the biggest killers in the region where we […]

Mission 2020–The work goes on during the pandemic

September 27, 2020 by leslieclark Leave a Comment

We are all navigating the major disruptions in our lives that COVID-19 has brought. I hope you are all doing that successfully and in good health. Some of the necessary changes have not been all bad. We have been trying for many years to find a way for our programs to be completed entirely by […]

COVID-19 mission to the nomads

April 15, 2020 by leslieclark Leave a Comment

The population of nomads we work with is very isolated, but they must on occasion visit a crowded market to do their shopping.  In the hot, dry season which is happening now, Wodaabe women often leave the country, traveling south to Nigeria, Benin, Togo or Ivory Coast, or west to Mali to sell their traditional […]

Our first local training mission in Iferouane

April 15, 2020 by leslieclark Leave a Comment

The only way to insure that our matrone training program continues in the long-term is to turn it over to local staff.  We have been inching toward this for many years.   The biggest step yet was possible when during our last mission we learned that all the essential materials we provide to new trainees […]

Dr. Becky’s thoughts on the 2019 mission

December 1, 2019 by leslieclark 1 Comment

One of the most satisfying aspects of our missions is to observe nomadic women helping one another achieve better health and safer pregnancies. Each year their achievements grow along with their confidence and knowledge. In addition, it is  always an enormous pleasure to reconnect with our nomad friends and colleagues despite the limitations in direct […]

What it’s like to go on a mission

December 1, 2019 by leslieclark 1 Comment

Besides all the work and projects that you have been reading about in this blog, I thought I’d try to give you an idea of what the travel is like–not the airplane–you all know about that.  I can’t really give you (and don’t want to) the bone crunching experience of driving off road through the […]

Handing it over–a beginning

November 27, 2019 by leslieclark Leave a Comment

Since the beginning of the Traditional birth attendant program with Dr. Bob Skankey in 2012 we have worked toward the goal of sustainability.  We had thought we had a trainer to take over the program in Achicha, a nurse who helped us for four years.  But she decided to get married and move to France, […]
